This chapter discusses nanocomposite membranes in relation to their use in membrane reactors. The concept of hybrid nanocomposites is explained, along with the advantages of using them as a challenging alternative to the organic and inorganic systems that are most frequently used. The chapter further analyses fabrication techniques and characterization methods, based on structure-property relationships. Finally, several important applications of nanocomposite membranes are discussed, in the fields of catalysis, biocatalysis and energy.

Abstract

This chapter discusses nanocomposite membranes in relation to their use in membrane reactors. The concept of hybrid nanocomposites is explained, along with the advantages of using them as a challenging alternative to the organic and inorganic systems that are most frequently used. The chapter further analyses fabrication techniques and characterization methods, based on structure-property relationships. Finally, several important applications of nanocomposite membranes are discussed, in the fields of catalysis, biocatalysis and energy.
